I think I'm having night time hypos due to symptoms I'm experiencing.. When is a good time to test for them? E.g. Should I test a certain amount of hours after going to bed? Thanks!

If you think thats what is happening I would get up every hour to test! seriously you cannot test enough. failing that ask you local hospital if you can borrow a CGM for a week
 
Eat dinner and inject minimum 4 hours before bed then don't eat again. Test every hour or so through the night (I do 1.5 hours usually). If you're hypo treat and stop the test, do the test again the following night. If you consistently hypo then reduce your basal by a unit, retest etc. apparently basal changes can take a few days to take effect.

If you genuinely think you're hypoing overnight then get testing ASAP!!
